Mar 13 Written by Emily Chudy
A 44-year-old man has pleaded not guilty to terror charges at the beginning of a trial relating to a deadly shooting in Oslo, Norway.
Two men, aged 54 and 60, were killed and a number of others injured when a gunman opened fire outside city centre bars in Oslo, including the popular LGBTQ+ nightclub, The London Pub, during Pride celebrations on 25 June 2022.
Zaniar Matapour was arrested on the same day, and later charged with aggravated terrorism.
